Dyneema- do I fuse it after cutting?

My sons WBBB arrived today with a new mambajamba tarp, also got 100 feet of dyneema. The hammock is great and is very comfortable, before cutting the dyneema for use with the tarp, how do I ensure the ends don't fray? Read a few threads but not sure since I have never braided anything, can you fuse it with heat?

Most folk splice dyneema braids so there is no loose end to fuse and it looks very tidy, opie has some great pictures and instructions on various threads and it's not difficult to do providing you have a piece of wire and a knitting needle. I have spliced 1.5mm without too much hassle.

It can be fused if you don't want to splice it. you can tie an overhand knot then heat the end to tidy it up.

Most of the time I backsplice my Amsteel just to give a finished look. I tried melting the ends on the first few soft shackles (nacrabiners) that I made, and I'm not happy with the results. It melts just fine, but seems to have sharp barbs or points that stick out and catch the small loop every time I open or close the shackle.

After the first few I'd tie the big diamond knot, then load the soft shackle, and then cut off the loose ends, leaving a quarter to half inch. If the knot has been loaded, the rope will fray back to the knot, and stays soft, but won't degrade the knot.
